jrector86 says "SOOOO COMFY!!!" about Spring Air Mattress

jrector86 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:36:25 GMT

I was nervous about purchasing a mattress online and I spent a great deal of time researching different websites. I am a regular shopper at WalMart so I decided to check out their web site to see if they had any mattresses. After a great deal of skeptism I decided to purchase this mattress. (I was hoping for the best.)
When I picked up the mattress at the site to store area I was surprised to see how the mattress was packed, the box did not at all look like a mattress would fit into it. When we got it home we immediatelty opened it up and then removed the plastic that was vaccum sealed around it. To our suprise it expanded into a full sized mattress.
I would tell anyone to purchase this mattress. It is the most comfortable one that my husband and I have ever slept on. It looks like an expensive mattress, sleeps like an expensive mattress, withouth the expensive cost. WE LOVE IT....Thank you WalMart. (PS I have read a post about a chemical odor when opening... this did not happen with ours)...

jrector86 says "LOVE IT!!" about Cook Magic cook magic talking microwave

jrector86 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:31:46 GMT

I bought this talking microwave for my vision-impaired daughter, and am very impressed. First, it looks gorgeous (every room, even a kitchen, benefits from a little dash of red). Second, the size is perfect--not tinker-toy sized but compact enough for a small kitchen. Third, the talking feature works great. You have a choice of loud, soft, or no voice, and a very pleasant voice it is. My daughter had no problem at all learning to use all the features, including a knob that has presets for many food items--just turn it until your choice is announced.

I can't speak for the durability, as we just got the unit recently, but if it wears as well as it's designed I'll be happy. And the Walmart price was certainy right--little more than half what amazon is asking (and that's the only other place I could find it).

This is the best thing ever! I would more than recomend it to everyone and absolutely everybody .

jrector86 says "THIS VACCUM TOTALLY SUCKS" about Dyson Ball dyson DC24 Vacuum

jrector86 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:28:28 GMT

...and I mean that in a good way!!! I wanted to purchase this item, because I have seen it so much on television, I thought I would give that guy a chance. I have owned vacuums before, and they always stop working, they loose their suction and before you know it, they don't pick up anything. It picks up baby powder, sand, crushed up crackers, cat hair, you name it, it gets it. I have long hair and I am use to taking vacuums apart, to get my hair off the brushes. This vacuum has a great feature, where if it gets loaded with hair or string, the brushes shut off. I usually spend a good 1/2 hour taking the vacuum apart to get the hair or string out, not with this one, there is a lever on the side that you turn and then the whole brush comes out, pull the hair out and put it back in. I was shocked that I didn't have to get the screwdriver out and spend a lot of time on this. I have to empty out the canister a lot, but it is because it works so well, I am getting everything that my old vacuums...

jrector86 says "I LOVE THIS HIGH CHAIR!" about Fisher Price Rainforest Healthy Care High Chair #K2927

jrector86 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:22:35 GMT

I am very happy with this purchase. It does have to be assembled but it was not difficult to do so. I like the seat pad better than the new one in that it is plasticized so it can be wiped down. I haven't tried to wash it yet. The straps are easily removed and can be washed in washer or dishwasher. The teether toy can be put in the dishwasher and easily comes clean :). The big toy can only be used while the removable tray top is off and should be on when your child eats because it would get filthy and isn't easily cleaned.
Theoretically the large toy can be hung on the back for storage but it sticks out quite far so that doesn't seem practical to me. I am using that bar to hang a little bag full of bibs :)
My only issue so far is that I have to stand on the front bar while pulling the tray off (forward not up) because the whole chair comes along if you don't. The first couple times trying to remove the tray needed two hands but now it's doing great.
The tray sits a bit high on my daughters...

jrector86 says "Beautiful crib" about Angel Line Jenny Lind Crib

jrector86 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:18:38 GMT

I searched FOREVER looking for a nice crib at an affordable price and finally settled on this one. I am very pleased with the purchase. I ordered this on a Saturday and was able to pick it up at our local store by the following Saturday. The box was in good condition as well, a slight concern considering some reviews talked about the damage that occurs during shipping. My husband and I had the crib put together in about 2 hours, but it is definitely a two person job. One person needs to hold the pieces in place while the other tightens the bolts and screws. And while the wood is soft and dents easily (typical of pine), the crib is made of actual wood, not pressboard which is nice. The crib is very sturdy also. It is much more sturdy than some of the others we looked at in the stores with drop sides.
So all in all, the crib is beautiful, sturdy, and affordable. All of the qualities I was looking for and I can't wait to put my new son in it. However, I only gave it 4 stars because I never...

jrector86 says "Graco turbo booster completely rocks!!!" about Graco TurboBooster

jrector86 — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 03:13:16 GMT

I bought this car seat for my 4yr old daughter because I was wary of the bottom only boosters since she has a habit of sleeping in the car- I figured she could slump over too far in those. She has loved her new big girl seat and I love how easy it is to get her buckled in the car now. Goodbye twisted harness straps! Already we've transferred it to other people's cars for temporary use and it took my elderly in-laws all of 10 seconds to move it over to the other car!

I like the two cup holders that are in easy reach for her- one for her drink, one for her snack or toy of the day. There's not a ton of padding in the seat but enough for everyday use. For long trips of a couple hours I may be tempted to pad a little more with a folded towel or something, but that's no big deal. She loves it like crazy and wouldn't want to change it for the world.

I would recomend this to any parent that has children. Its fun and easy to use.
